The single underscore version is actually slightly more supported among
the compilers I've seen so far. Also added the exact list now.

This gets rid of a couple of per-entity sprite bitplane types, makes
sprite declarations easier to read by putting width and height next to
each other… and points out a number of array dimension mistakes -.-
Even in places where we can't use it.

Sure, we can't use them everywhere, but it's really nice to get rid of
that casting madness – and any explicit references to x86 memory
segmentation – wherever we can.

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

eeb4e7e changed the final C translation unit that used this header to
C++, and we got some more helpful inline functions upcoming.

DOS is not the same thing as the underlying CPU, after all. A separate
file not only indicates to future port authors which parts of the code
are x86-specific, but it also speeds up build times…
… in theory, because removing 677 lines from 49 files each doesn't seem
to speed up the build as much as I had hoped? But apparently my whole
system mysteriously got faster in the meantime, and I was getting 22-23
seconds for the entire repo even before this commit. Good enough.

And since inlining even removes longer if-else chains if they branch
depending on a literal constant, we can use a regular parameter to
select either MOV or OR in our _FS and _GS poke() template functions,
without needing to duplicate them!

Containing not one, but two decompilation innovations, one of which
works around a compiler bug using C++ template functions…

Another function consisting almost entirely of inline ASM. Still worth
it though, if only to save us from duplicating any declarations in ASM
land.
